Chapter 931: Protect, Love the House and the Bird
The attitude of the Queen Mother was very important at the moment. Chu Qing knew that she was not in the eyes of the Emperor yet, so it would be best if she could start from the Queen Mother.
The former emperor may not be that important to the emperor!
But it was different for the Queen Mother. He must be the Queen Mother's eldest son, and a very promising eldest son. Such an identity destined the Queen Mother to have a high regard for the heirs left by her eldest son.
Chu Qing has always been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's favor for Chu Liuchen. If he were also favored by the Queen Mother, the emperor would definitely treat him differently, and he could also show off his talents. But right now, the emperor has been lukewarm towards him. , Such identity and status also keep officials far away from him.
Coupled with the lack of grace, Chu Qing's path was more difficult than he imagined.
And now is an opportunity to let the Queen Mother help him make the decision and look after him. Even if it is just a small thing, it will slowly make the courtiers change their view of him.
He stood up and knelt down to the Queen Mother: "Please make a decision, Queen Mother!"
He pushed this matter to the Queen Mother again. Regarding his marriage, he pushed it to the Queen Mother without reservation, as if he was letting the Queen Mother make the decision.
It’s a wholehearted trust.
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, but this time she didn't remain silent for long, and said slowly: "No matter what the Xingguo Marquis Mansion plans, just do it as it should be!"
"I understand!" Chu Qing said respectfully, not disobeying the Queen Mother's words at all.
Seeing his respectful expression, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "Let's get up first. From now on, like other princes, you can be called Grandmother of the Ai Family!"
"Yes..." Chu Qing's eyes turned red, and he was very excited. He turned his head to avoid the Queen Mother seeing his excitement, so he hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, and then said, "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
This was the first time that he called the Queen Mother "Royal Grandmother" in front of her, which represented the Queen Mother's recognition.
"Now that the matter is settled, you can go and propose marriage. How is the house you made an appointment with before?" After Chu Qing sat down, the Queen Mother asked.
"That family made the reservation early, so it's not a powerful family. It's just keeping a promise made back then." Chu Qing said meekly.
Regarding his attitude, the Queen Mother became more and more satisfied, "How are you preparing for the wedding?"
The Queen Mother had never had any involvement in this matter before.
"We are already choosing a date. Once we have chosen a date, we will show it to the Imperial Grandmother."
"That's good. The side concubine is different from the main concubine. The side concubine comes in after the main concubine enters the house. You can go to the Xingguo Hou Mansion to recruit her first. She is just a side concubine. Just be casual. Besides, speaking of this, the Xingguo Hou Mansion I have to thank you..." The Queen Mother had something else to say.
Shao Wanru glanced at Chu Qing calmly, and saw that there was still a trace of tears in the corner of his eyes. He looked at the Queen Mother with a very friendly look. With such a look, anyone would feel that the grandson in front of him was looking at him wholeheartedly. His grandmother, no matter what her grandmother said, he would agree with her. She was an extremely filial child.
Sure enough, Chu Qing did what Shao Wanru expected, nodding his head repeatedly, just like an ordinary grandson to his grandmother, "Yes, Imperial Grandmother!"
"What the Imperial Grandmother said is that all the grandchildren listen to the Imperial Grandmother's
female! "
Grandparents and grandson seem to be very friendly. Although it is not as good as the relationship between the Queen Mother and Chu Liuchen in the past, it is definitely considered warm!
As for who to book, Mrs. Xingguo Houfu still wanted to ask Shao Wanru to take the initiative and speak for Shao Caihuan. Shao Wanru didn't think this was a good thing.
Although Shao Caihuan once had the intention of harming her, he must have just pushed the boat along. In the current situation, it seemed that he had really given up on Chu Liuchen. In this case, Shao Wanru was not willing to be a pusher. .
Chu Qing is definitely not a good match. Her cheap second uncle wants to climb up the ladder, and she won't let them succeed.
The Queen Mother made the decision for Chu Qing. It was as if the matter was finalized. No matter how much the Queen Mother and Shao Jing jumped around, this matter could not be changed.
As for who King Cheng is, she wanted to see who else would jump out at this time...
After the Queen Mother had a conversation with Chu Qing, she sent Chu Qing out and specially kept Shao Wanru.
After Chu Qing left, the maids brought tea again. The Queen Mother held the tea cup and fell silent. Her eyes fell thoughtfully on the tea in the cup, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Shao Wanru sat calmly, waiting quietly for the Queen Mother to speak.
After a while, I heard the Queen Mother say: "How is Chen'er's health now?"
"To the Queen Mother, Your Highness's health is much better. There should be nothing serious!" Shao Wanru replied softly, his attitude was very gentle, but also very decent and calm.
"Chen'er's health has never been good. Although he is better now, he must be careful and pay more attention. This child has always been willful and does not pay attention to his own body. Now that you are marrying into Prince Chen's palace, you must pay more attention to his. His body is the most important thing, don’t be reckless!”
The Queen Mother raised her head, looked at Shao Wanru and said.
His eyes fell on Shao Wanru's stunningly beautiful face, and his eyes darkened involuntarily. Such a look was not necessarily a blessing, but Chen'er liked it, so of course she had to protect it.
"You are the granddaughter of the eldest princess Ruian. The Yi family has known for a long time, but you used to be the fourth daughter of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion. Even though your father was once the heir apparent of the former Xingguo Duke, he is nothing now. But now your status is different. Now, you are Princess Chen, and you are closely related to King Chen. When King Chen is well, you will be well too!"
"My granddaughter-in-law understands that she will definitely take Prince Chen into consideration and will not drag down your highness with the affairs of the Xingguo Hou Mansion!" Shao Wanru's voice was soft with a hint of perseverance, and he answered without any hesitation, looking at her with a pair of watery eyes. The Queen Mother has a stunning yet convincing appearance.
"You were not so close to Xingguo Houfu in the past, which was not a good thing for you in the past. But in the future, if Xingguohou Mansion still comes to you for anything, just take care of it yourself, and don't be too tired to go to Prince Chen's Mansion, Chen'er Your health is not good, so don’t worry too much!”
A smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face, and her expression became gentle.
Different, still different. Although they are all beautiful women, it is obvious that the Shao Wanru in front of her is more like a responsible royal princess. The royal family is not short of weak women, especially those who have no opinions at all. A weak woman who only knows how to obey is not a blessing.
Especially the woman who was originally in the position of the head wife.
The heart that was worried about Shao Wanru's appearance slowly relaxed, at least Chen'er wouldn't have such a thing happen!
"Don't worry, Grandma Royal. How Grandma Xingguo treats her grandson-in-law, Grandma-Emperor should see it in her eyes. Although grandma is from the Marquis Xingguo Mansion, she is closer to her grandmother. Grandma is sincerely caring for grandson-in-law." Shao Wanru lowered his head, tears gathered in his long eyes, and his face turned pale.
The grudge between the Xingguo Hou Mansion and Shao Wanru had been brought to the attention of the Queen Mother several times. How could the Queen Mother not know that she was not concerned about the confusion of the Queen Mother of the Xingguo Hou Mansion.
In terms of bloodline, is Shao Wanru's bloodline the most noble?
It happened that the Queen Mother of Xingguo valued the second wife. In the past, the Queen Mother could not interfere with such matters. After all, this was the internal affairs of the Xingguo House. Even though the Queen Mother was noble, she had to drink a bowl of water, let alone because Ruian grew up. The princess prefers Shao Wanru, but things are different now.
Shao Wanru's status is enough for people to understand that she is noble, and she is more noble than anyone in the Xingguo Hou Mansion.
The Xingguo Hou Mansion has begun to decline. The Queen Mother does not want the Xingguo Hou Mansion to bring Shao Wanru down. It is best for Shao Wanru not to be close to the Xingguo Hou Mansion now.
"In the future, your second sister will enter the Qingjun Prince's Palace, but she is just a side concubine, which is different from your main concubine!" The Queen Mother reminded Shao Wanru again.
"Royal grandmother, grandson daughter-in-law understands that in the husband's family, only the status of the husband's family can be considered, and only the principal concubine and the principal concubine can talk about sisters. As for the side concubine..." Shao Wanru paused here, and then said with a smile, "As for the Of course, concubines cannot be like sisters, concubines should look like concubines!"
Before entering Prince Qing's Mansion, Shao Jie'er had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the Queen Mother, but Shao Wanru was still very happy.
Shao Jie'er has never been a safe person, and his cheap second uncle is even more so. I wonder what they will look like when they find out that Chu Qing must let Shao Jie'er in. It's really exciting.
The Empress Dowager felt more and more that Shao Wanru was smart. She originally thought that she would have to work harder to teach Shao Wanru slowly, but she didn't expect that he was able to draw inferences from one example. The smile on her face became more and more popular. She looked at Shao Wanru. He nodded repeatedly. Although he lacked the support of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion and his family background was average, Chen'er must have chosen him himself, and he was also a smart one, so he could make up for it a lot.
"It's best if you think so. If anything happens in the future, you can come to the Ai family. King Chen will be going to the border in a while. You should prepare the things he needs for him. Don't let him have a hard time outside. Comfortable, as for you, after Chen'er leaves, come to the palace to accompany the Ai family if you have nothing to do!"
When the Queen Mother was satisfied, she naturally wanted to protect Shao Wanru.
"Thank you, Imperial Grandmother!" Shao Wanru smiled like a flower. He stood up and bowed deeply to the Queen Mother. His face was a little touched. She was really touched. The Queen Mother made her feel a bit like Mr. Qin. People, it feels good to have people paying attention and really wanting to protect you.
Different from Chu Qing's coy pretense, the admiration in her eyes was more obvious and sincere. Although she did not shed tears and even had a faint and decent smile, it made people feel that she sincerely felt close to the Queen Mother. .
This child also has a hard life, the Queen Mother cannot help but think so...
